New FANTASTIC FOUR Will Change The Origin and Name of Doctor Doom

We’ve heard the new film, directed by Josh Trank (Chronicle) will have some radically different concepts going on than we’re used to seeing in the classic Fantastic Four comics. But now Toby Kebbell,
who plays the film’s version of Doctor Doom, has revealed a few things
about his character. And they’re far more different than you’d probably
been guessing so far. Get ready to lose your mind fanboys and fangirls.

In a conversation with Collider, Kebbell said,

I’m excited to see it too, and my nerves really…The only thing I can
tease you about is what I worked on most was the voice because
nobody—even in the cartoons, when I was watching them I was like, “So
where’s he from?” There’s a mild change and I’ll tell you because of
our history. He’s Victor Domashev, not Victor Von Doom in our story.
And I’m sure I’ll be sent to jail for telling you that. The Doom in
ours—I’m a programmer. Very anti-social programmer. And on blogging
sites I’m “Doom”.

Could Kebbell be exaggerating here, or planting misinformation?
Possible, but he could have just not answered at all. We’ll take him at
his word.
Kebbell also said,

Yeah, it was cool man. Josh, the whole deal, the lo-fi
way he did it, the ultra-real. It was just nice to do that. It was
nice to be feeling like we had to come to terms with what was given by
this incident.
